On resuming business on Friday morning, the financial statement for 1805 was presented. by the secretary, treasurer, showing a balance on hand of $110.03. On motion of Mr. Lough, seconded by Mr. Robb, the report was. adopted, The next order of business was the election of officers, which resulted as follows President, Mr. J. II. Cameron ; first vice presi- dent, Mr. J. T. Dodds; second vice president, Miss Robertson; secretary treasurer, A, II. Plummer; executive committee, --Messrs, Dobson, Forsyth , McDonald, and Misses Reynolds and Wilson, The newly elected president then took his position in the chair, and called for the address of Mr. Scott, the retiring president, who dealt with the subject of "Written examinations." His remarks were concise and to the point, and in his address suggested some changes, particularly with regard to uniform promotion examinations, claiming that the examination would be more uniform if no teacher examined the papers of his own pupils. He also thought it better to have the drawing books and book-keeping books dis- carded on entrance and public school leaving examinations. This provoked a lively discussion. ML'. Schmidt the Seaforth Collegiate Institute, n took up the subject of gram which he handled in a very manner, showing the mistakes frequently met with in teachin subject, and how to correct t Next Mr. Forsyth, of School Se No. 2, Tuckersmit'i, read a ver structive paper on '`How to pupils employed in school." He rented the subject in a manner no one listening could. fail to rec benefit. Mr. Ingram, of No. Tuckersmith, took up the sub "Voice culture in reading," whit dealt with very exhaustively, thr ing out many valuable hints regal ing the teaching of reading. After the usual vote of thanks, t meeting closed, • to feet at the call the executive committee. It may here mentioned that the Assoeiati will henceforth meet during the mi summer holidays, so as to avoid breaking the teaching term: Mr. Archie Gillies, of Teeswater, has resigned the Liberal nomination in East Bruce, and a new convention is to be held on the 14th to decide what action the Reform party intend taking in the general elections in that Riding. The name of Mr. II. P. O'Connor, of Walkerton, is promi- nently mentioned as a successor to Mr. Gillies, and should he accept the nomination, it is more than probable, with a Patron and Conservative in the field, that Mr. O'Connor would carry the Riding by a large majority. Our cotemporary wants to know what Dr. Macdonald has done for East Huron. This smacks strong of Conservativism-of the Tupper stamp and shows the high ideal of some people, regarding political principles. In order to be a suitable member of par- liament, according to this standard, a man must lay himself to rope in the Government for sone big job for his own constituency. Certainly Dr. Macdonald has done nothing of the kind, and more than that East Huron will not be bought by him in that way. We defy the Advance or any Conservative to point to another man in parliament, outside the leaders of the different parties, who has taken a more active part in the legislation of our country during the past ten years, than has Dr. Macdonald. The mean little insinuation, that the doctor has only one speech which he makes periodically, is unworthy a journal of any standing. your benefit.

The regular annual meeting of the East Huron Teachers' Association was held in the Collegiate Institute, Seaforth, on Thursday and Friday, 7th and 8th inst., there being an attendance of about 120. After the opening exercises by Mr. Lough and the calling of the roll, the regular business of the meeting was proceed- ed with. The first order of business was the appointment of committees, after which the subject of mensura- tion, "How to teach the circle," was very ably presented. by Mr. Wynn, of Uranbrook, the method being to show the relations of different parts of the circle by the object. In this manner the rule for finding the area, circumference and diameter of the circle was found by actual examina- tion by pupils themselves, thus avoiding the use of rules, which the pupil did not understand or would soon forget. This was discussed at some length by Messrs. Cheswright and Hogg. The next subject taken up was "Elementary rules in arithmetic," by Mr. W. H. Stewart, of No. 1, Grey, showing how he would introduce the study of arithmetic to the child. He laid great stress on mechanical oper- ations in the early stages, recom- mending the mastering of all its combinations belonging to each num- ber before taking up another. It was further discussed by Messrs. Lough, Baker, Cameron, Robb and Cheswright. The next paper taken waw the report of Mr. Cameron, of Brussels, delegate to the Provincial Association, held at Toronto in April. He gave a somewhat lengthy report of the business of the Association, and was listened to throughout with the most undivided attention. Mr. Me- Faul, of the Seaforth public school, then concluded the day's proceedings With his subject of "hnglish litera- ture," taking as his selection, "The Return of the Swallow." He clearly Showed his method of presenting the subject to a class, emphasizing the importance of drawing as much from the child as possible, and of leading him to think for himself. The lesson was an interesting one, and Was Much appreciated by the teachers. Vies Robertson, of the Wingham public school, gave a number of methods, illustrative of her methods in teaching- several subjects of the public school course. She dwelt on o hnportanco of the nae of a map teaching history and literature.
